  • Publication number: 20240059217
    Abstract: To allow an easily producible lighting device that manages with few components and enables an efficient, desired light distribution in an interior space, the provided method and device includes a light guide with a longitudinal transport section and at least one transverse transport section. The longitudinal transport section has at least one light entry surface, arranged transversely with respect to the longitudinal extension of the longitudinal transport section, for coupling light into the longitudinal transport section, and a light exit section along the longitudinal extension. The transverse transport section has a flat design, and is connected to the longitudinal transport section at at least one first narrow side. The transverse transport section also has secondary deflection elements at which the coupled-in light is deflected in such a way that the light exits at the opposite broad sides.

  • Publication number: 20220407214
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a heatable plastic component for a motor vehicle, which includes: providing a planar heating film, which has a first surface and a second surface that faces away from and is opposite the first surface, including at least one heating wire and connecting elements; introducing the planar heating film into an injection mold; mounting a connector housing onto the connecting elements; and back-molding the first surface with a plastic for manufacturing a first partial element of the heatable plastic component in the injection mold. In order to provide an improved method for manufacturing a heatable plastic component, it is proposed that a back-molding of the second surface with a plastic for manufacturing a second partial element of the heatable plastic component in the injection mold takes place such that a composite is formed from the first partial element, the planar heating film and the second partial element.
